Description
Ciao!
My name is Lisa & I am English,
I am also vegetarian!
I have lived in a property in a small medieval village, in northern Tuscany for several years. I have several odd tasks around the house, including cleaning & painting, as well as other various DIY projects including some mosaic tasks that needs patience, there’s a lot of outdoor tasks too, as I have a very large garden, which needs attention. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The house is situated on the border of a national park in the apuan alps. Although I have lived in Italy several years I still don't speak Italian very well so I hope we could both benefit from your stay If you are learning English/Italian.

In addition, I could benefit from anyone who has any building, plastering, stonework, or decorating experience. -

Accommodation
My house is a two bedroom house, the single guest bedroom has a beautiful view of the mountains but is not decorated as the walls need re plastering. The accomadation is basic because there is a lot of renovation work still to do.

What else ...
By the way, I am vegetarian!!!
The nearest airport to me Is Pisa so of course there is the leaning tower of Pisa to see! On the way up from Pisa to the house there are many places to stop off at along the coast such as Viareggio, Versilia, Lerici, Portovenere & of course the cinque terre, which is nice to do by boat. The nearest beach is marinella which is about 40 mins away by car. There are also lots of Hiking trails available in the local area. The train station is about a 10 minute walk away. -
